Restoration of C&J Grasmere. New Gumlite soles, and new heel counters.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
These shoes are ca 15 yrs old. Uppers are in surprisingly good shape, and needs not much restoration. Just a washing, some straightening out the creases, a little scuff mark fix and a nourishing polish. The heel counters and linings are in worse shape though, and could not be repaired. Heel counters needed replacing. New original Gumlite soles, and the shoes are as good as new.

Amazing!
This bone trick is something I haven't seen before. Very interesting

You've never boned a shoe?
Awesome😊
Asombroso 😮
Rất tốt, nhưng chi phí để sửa 1 đôi giày như này chắc cũng hơn nửa giá trị đôi giày mới, nên tốt nhất mua đôi mới.

WoW...Wonder which leather binding you use to cover all these scuffs and marks
What is the leather binder you used on the toes?
why there is no shoe wax after the creme?
What glue are you using that you don't need to let it sit to cure? Any glue I use, renia, master, barge - they all need to sit for at least 5 minutes to cure before sticking. Wonderful job!

What do you mean? When I wet glue? All contact adhesives can be wet glued also. They will cure in a few minutes. But if you want the contact function you need to let the surfaces dry first. All jobs where you need to be able to move the parts around, I wet glue, like heel linings and insoles.

@@davidsonsshoerepair Very interesting, I did not know that. So when i'm using barge cement I can wet glue it? I do restorations on mostly sneakers. I was always taught to let both sides cure before sticking together. Instructions says the same too. Otherwise you won't get a proper bond. I'll have to experiment with this then.

@@davidsonsshoerepair I was referring to contact cement glue for glueing soles on etc. Looked like you had a lot of different types of glues at work there. I love that little red glue canister that applies it for you. I use Renia too but not the ortec version.

@@nickp3173 you usually want the contact function on soles and heels. And the instructions on a contact adhesive should be on how to use the contact function. But yeah, it works just as good when wet glueing. Then you can adjust the pieces you're glueing. I use a bunch of different adhesives depending on the job, but the neoprene based contact Renia Ortec is the one I use most, on leather and rubber.
is it necessary to smooth the bumps on the upper front part?

What do you mean? Which bumps? The creases? Yes. The shoes looks better if I straighten them out. And it will be easier to nourish the leather. Same reason as why you should use shoe trees.
För intressets skull, hur mycket kostade dessa reperationsåtgärder totalt? Eller hur mycket skulle det kosta, på ett ungefär?

Great question. Would anything actually jond separated leather's fibres once surface split/cut/worn away creating separation? Also, would split areas hold without splitting at same spot?
Pissbra, som alltid!
Das Problem bei der ganzen Sache, dürfte der Reparaturpreis sein.

A replacement pair from Crockett & Jones would cost about 660 euros. The repair costs ca 380-400 euros. Simple math. And we know nothing about the sentimental value the shoes has to the customer. I have often made restorations for more than a new pair would cost.

Well, repairers' good skills are available when/where needed. Choice to pay or not is a separate matter. Docwe not all have different likes and dislikes?
Jag har mycket respekt för Davidsons arbete... Jag ger höga betyg till en man som inte pratar utan jobbar lugnt och lugnt och visar oss sina färdigheter...Jag gillar inte folk som pratar mycket i videor...
